| Black & Veatch helps deliver natural gas supplies to rural China US engineering firm Black & Veatch announced that its patented PRICO LNG (liquefied natural gas) process is helping bring natural gas supplies to customers in rural China. In addition to being a valuable fuel source for residents and industry, LNG can also be used as a clean fuel for vehicles. The first LNG facility is in Erdos, Inner Mongolia, and attained full production capacity of 200,000 metric tons per year in December 2008. A second facility in Zhuhai City, Guangdong Province, has also begun commercial operation. Four additional plants are planned in central Sichuan Province, central Shaanxi province, northwestern Gansu province and the northwestern Xinjiang Autonomous Region. Upon completion, the six facilities will supply a total of approximately 1.2 million tons per year of LNG, resulting in residents being able to use natural gas for heating and cooking. write your comments about the article :: © 2009 Construction News :: home page |
